Cricket announced the availability of a new family plan today. Priced at $40 per month for each line, it has all the features of Cricket's $50/month plan which include unlimited talk, text and data (throttled after 1GB/month). The plan also includes unlimited Muve Music song downloads, ringtones and ringback tones.

Cricket's Family Plan is available to new and existing customers with two or more smartphone plans, including Lifeline customers, who enroll in Cricket's Automatic Bill Pay program. The family plan is available only at Cricket company owned stores and select 3rd party dealers, not online.
